This is one of the best pieces of theater I have ever seen. Kate's writing is so smart- she brilliantly introduces and explains the emotional, physical and lifestyle toll these disorders take to those who have no concept on the subject matter and relates so profoundly to those who know the concepts very well. This show needs to be seen by everyone, no matter your sex, age, or career. ... full review

Eating disorders, OCD, societal body standards. Let's talk about it, huh? Well, not only did Kate Huffman talk about it, she bravely shared about her struggles with it, and had us thinking and LAUGHING about it. Her ability to weave her personal story with strong writing, clever staging techniques, technology, and multiple characters (have to see it to understand just how good this mechanism worked) created a fantastic performance piece. Ms Huffman has given us not only a piece of art, but a piece of herself.... one that allows us to be a bit more empathetic with those that might struggle with these issues.

Fantastic energy and interesting enough to engage me all by herself--one-person shows are HARD!--the full hour and 20 mins. Truly, her energy seemed boundless! I would recommend!... full review

A must-see show! Kate bares her all to expose a decades long disease - call it OCD, call it eating disorder, call it what you want - but the truth is that it deserves attention and empathy. The daily struggle that Kate lives with is poignantly and unapologetically exposed. But she doesn't just tell her story - she questions it, she battles with it (literally) and re-creates the back and forth in her mind in increasingly creative ways. Kate puts a human and empathetic spin on the disease she and so many others suffer from. She holds our society accountable for the messages it sends to us. Kate confronts the enemy and it's brilliant. She doesn't offer a nice tidy solution either, which is so truthful and accurate. I'm very impressed by Kate Hu... full review

This show is magic. Not only will you laugh and laugh hard it will move you. The perfect amount of dark humor with an outreach that is for everyone. This show will make you question your judgments and make you a better human. The impact I imagine this would have had on me if had scene it a younger, more vulnerable age. I laughed, I cried, I laughed again. ... full review

Kate shares some difficult truths and makes it a joy to learn about the neurological facts of OCD and disordered eating-- a pretty amazing feat! Her characters were funny and distinctive and playful. Her personal conversations with her "disease" were insightful and enlightening. ... full review
